In that case do the following: 
-  * Edit /etc/init.d/virtualbox and change line 129 from 'exit 1' to 'exit 0'
-  * Reinstall the !VirtualBox package by 'dpkg -i <the !VirtualBox package for your distribution>'. An installation failure of this package is expected. 
-  * Edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/virtualbox.postinst and change line 39 from 'exit 1' to 'exit 0' 
-  * Execute 'dpkg --configure --pending'
-  * The package should now be installed successfully. However, the kernel module is still not compiled. Before you will be able to execute !VirtualBox you have to create a kernel module for your current kernel, as described in the User Manual (see our Downloads section).
